Growing up under\u00a0Billy Ray Cyrus\u2018 roof, she got her crash course in the music business, whether she asked for it or not. But you can tell this album,\u00a0<em>I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me<\/em>, isn\u2019t riding on anyone else\u2019s boots. It\u2019s raw, rootsy, and just the right amount of restless. \u201cNew Country\u201d is the standout that ties all that together, the past, the future, and the tension in between.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Noah Cyrus - New Country (Official Video) ft.

And who better than the Oklahoma kingpin himself? \u201cIt was like a God thing telling me you have to reach out to Blake,\u201d she told the LA Times. Blake could\u2019ve laughed it off, but you know how it is with him. If he believes in it, he shows up. So there he was, deep baritone ready, standing beside a woman half his age and totally unafraid to claim her own corner of the genre.<\/p>\n<p>What makes \u201cNew Country\u201d hit isn\u2019t just the two big names slapped on the credits. It\u2019s the tension you can feel winding through the lyrics: \u201cThis is a new country, this is foreign land\u2026 walking through a wildfire, learnin\u2019 how to live and not just stay alive.\u201d It\u2019s Noah planting her flag and telling the gatekeepers to move over while Blake leans in and lets her voice lead the way. He\u2019s not hogging the spotlight, he\u2019s anchoring it, letting that smoky ache in Noah\u2019s vocals do the heavy lifting while his old-school twang slips in like a ghost of the past she\u2019s rewriting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.hellomagazine.com\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/99d2fafd53b4-snapinstato517227736185219582320141028137852909340680466n.jpg\" alt=\"Blake Shelton teams up with this striking star in new music video | HELLO!\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a far cry from Blake\u2019s early days, that kid trembling backstage at the CMAs back in 2001. You\u2019ve got to love the full-circle moment, too. Decades ago, a nervous Blake told Billy Ray Cyrus how terrified he was to sing on live TV, and Billy Ray, in true Billy Ray fashion, told him to toughen up. \u201cMan, people make fun of you anyway. You need to toughen up.\u201d That\u2019s the grit Blake\u2019s brought to every stage since, the reason this duet works so well. He\u2019s the solid country center, and Noah\u2019s the match setting the new rules on fire.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are eating it up. One listener wrote, \u201cBlake and Noah, perfect sound of emotion and honesty.\u201d Another said it best: \u201cThis is Noah\u2019s era.\u201d She\u2019s stepping out from under the Hannah Montana days and the tabloid chatter and putting her name on the big neon sign that says she\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about proving she\u2019s Billy Ray\u2019s kid or Miley\u2019s sister. It\u2019s about proving there\u2019s a place in country for the old scars and the new rebels alike. \u201cNew Country\u201d won\u2019t shut down the dive bar\u00a0jukebox classics\u00a0anytime soon, but it might just sit right next to them, a reminder that the genre\u2019s heartbeat still thumps through old souls and fresh voices when they\u2019ve got the guts to share a stage.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes all it takes is a good song, a better story, and a couple of voices that sound like they\u2019ve got nothing left to lose. Noah and Blake just gave us that. And if you\u2019ve got any sense, you\u2019ll pour one, crank it up, and let them remind you that country\u2019s far from done changing its stripes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It dropped less than a day ago \u2014 and already, fans are calling it \u201cmagic.\u201dBlake Shelton \u2014 the Voice veteran, the country jokester, the Oklahoma legend \u2014&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3250"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3250\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3252,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3250\/revisions\/3252"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
